| 0:00.0 | What's going on guys Kevin Estello, Field Crafts survival. I'm the host of this advertisement |
| 0:18.6 | for this podcast guys. This podcast is only possible with our sponsors with the folks |
| 0:25.0 | that advertise here and I want to recognize two of them. The first sponsor is Six Hour. Guys, |
| 0:30.2 | Six Hour is more than a firearms company. Six Hour produces a lot of the accessories |
| 0:35.4 | for those firearms that they do make, including amazing ammunition. I want to talk to you about |
| 0:40.4 | that ammunition just for a hot second. I'm a ballistics nerd. I've attended the Six Hour |
| 0:45.4 | Academy, Precision Scope Rifle, Advanced Precision Scope Rifle, Reach for a Thousand. When |
| 0:50.8 | I was living out in Utah and we were using the Kaffiru property out there. I mean, I was shooting |
| 0:55.9 | out to 980 yards on a regular basis and I'll tell you some of the best ammo that I found to do that. |
| 1:01.3 | Six Hour ammunition. Something that you should know about their ammo in ballistics and long range |
| 1:08.0 | shooting, you got to know what standard deviation is between the rounds. You don't want one round |
| 1:11.7 | that's going say 2,600 feet per second and another round that's going 2,400 feet per second out of |
| 1:17.4 | the same lot. Well, the SIG ammo has a very, very low standard deviation. That's what I've found. We're |
| 1:23.4 | talking only 5 feet per second, which is very negligible. So I love the stuff that SIG puts out there. |
| 1:28.3 | They make great, great ammo, including some really good ammo for their 365. They have a special |
| 1:33.4 | round that is designed for that pistol and other short micro compact pistols like the 365. So I'm |
| 1:40.5 | a huge fan of SIG and I'm very thankful for them being one of the podcast sponsors. And of course, |
| 1:46.9 | if you are going to train and you're going to carry a pistol, maybe you're going to carry their |
| 1:51.1 | ammunition, then I would recommend that you guys train at the SIG's hour academy. It's up in New Hampshire. |
| 1:56.3 | And they also have training around the country, but that's their primary location. And the SIG training |
| 2:01.3 | is awesome. You can do everything from pistol to carbine to shotgun to precision scope rifle. You name it. |
| 2:07.7 | You can do it there. So guys, please head over to SIG's hour.com. Take a look at all the things that they |
